EXTRACTOR

The club have bought a  3 frame manual tangential extractor for club members to hire.

·         The extractor would only be hired out to club members.

·         The extractor will be based at Lindsay’s and a booking diary kept as to hire.

·         A sheet must be signed agreeing to the terms and conditions and the condition of extractor both on hire and return.

·         The cost of hire for 2 days is £10 and extractor must be returned on the 3rd day by 5.00pm or earlier.

·         It may be possible to hire for longer if no-one else has the extractor booked.  If so it is a daily charge of £5.00.

·         There will be a deposit of £25 - returnable when extractor is returned cleaned and in same condition when hired out.

·         If the extractor is not cleaned properly or damaged the £25 will not be returned.  

·         It is the responsibility of the person hiring to collect and return the extractor.

Note

When cleaning the extractor cold water should be used to make sure all the wax and propolis is cleaned off first.  If you use hot water it will melt and be harder to clean.

Call or email Lindsay to book the days you would like the extractor
